The city of San Francisco this week began allowing non-citizens, including illegal immigrants, to register to vote in the November election for the city school board.


The effort follows the city's passage of a 2016 ballot measure that gave the right to vote in school board elections to non-U.S. citizens over age 18 who live in San Francisco and have children under age 19, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.


The measure was approved by a majority of San Francisco's eligible voters, but after the first two attempts failed.


“This is no-brainer legislation,” Hillary Ronen, of the city’s Board of Supervisors, told the publication. “Why would we not want our parents invested in the education of their children?”


"This is no-brainer legislation. ... Why would we not want our parents invested in the education of their children?"

“As a parent myself and a former member of the SF Board of Education it is critical that the voices of all parents are at the table, particularly those that have historically been denied a voice in the process,” Supervisor Sandra Lee Fewer said.


“We want to give immigrants the right to vote,” Supervisor Norman Yee told KGO.


A similar initiative of giving limited voting rights has also reportedly been approved in Chicago and multiple cities in Maryland and Massachusetts.


But other San Francisco residents are expressing dismay with non-citizens becoming eligible to vote in certain elections.


“The reason I voted against it is that I think the right to vote is something that goes along with citizenship -- and should be,” said Harmeet Dhillon, a member of the Republican National Committee.

Some supporters of the measure, though celebrating, also expressed reservations that it could be weaponized by the federal government to crack down on illegal immigrants.


"The victory is that San Franciscans voted for this. In the face of what's happening nationwide now, we stand strong. ... But there is also a risk. So we as San Franciscans have set aside a fund to make sure that these immigrant communities are fully educated on their rights, but also their risks in this time and place in our country," Fewer told the Chronicle.


She said it’s not clear whether non-citizens’ voting registry could be hidden from the federal records, because voting records are considered public information.


"I think in this case in particular, what is very risky is that we don't know where this president will go," she added. "Are there risks involved? Absolutely. But quite frankly, there are risks involved for all of us with the Trump administration.”


The measure granting non-citizens the right to vote will expire in 2020, but can be renewed by the Board of Supervisors, reports said.

And who says that they are only voting in the school board election?

You are telling me that of the 13million+ illegals in this country, not a single one of them have ever voted in any of our elections?

Predictable liberal behavior. Promise free stuff too and when they don't

deliver just blame the Republicans. This is how the democrats roll!

And do you really think its going to stop there? Local school board mettings are just the first step in getting the illegals to vote.

a) The fucking Constitution says they aren't voting in a national election
b) that's a different question. of course some (very very very few) have voted but they had to know the name of a registered voter, the polling place or precinct that single registered voter was aligned to, and also know that the voter wasn't going to cast their vote. you have to be one serious right-wing, sheeple, nutter if you think that illegals simply walk into a polling place and cast their vote

There is no system in place to verify if someone is legally registered as a citizen to vote, thats the problem. There is no check, no SS# check, nothing. During election time, in front of shopping centers, DMV and high foot traffic areas there are people with clip boards registering people to vote.

When you register to vote, the only question the form asks is "Are you a citizen" .... Simply check "YES" and you are registered. I dare you to go re-register to vote, and see how simple it is. No ID needed, just simply fill out a form, no check is done.

Go register as Thomas Brady with one of these people with a clip board... and I will wager you that in a few weeks you will have a voter card in a few weeks with "Thomas Brady" on it

and that makes it ok in your eyes? Do you think YOU should be able to go to Spain or Finland or Mexico or any other country and have the "right" to vote on ANY god damn thing?

if my kids are in that local school and it's specific to the school board election then, yes, i can see the correlation. i'm not saying this is right i'm saying that you fear-mongers are missing the part that this is not a real election.... it's immigrants allowed to vote for a local school board that their kids are attending. If you're asking me whether a honduran illegal in east bay should be allowed to decide Pittsburgh PA school board elections then my answer is pretty obvious.

To think this is one step closer to a constitutional amendment allowing illegals to vote for a governor or a president is the same fear-mongering that has been going on for 50 years from the 'pubs. It has about as much validity as the left's assertion than everyone who didn't vote for Hillary is a vile racist and that we're in a current state of such horrible economy that everyone needs to work 2 jobs (see Ocasio thread).

this is a NOTHING discussion. let the creepy lib freaks in SF let illegals vote for the psycho lib teachers that will inform their little offspring until they drop out in the 8th grade

I walked into my town hall when I moved here 15 years ago. Nobody asked me anything about my citizenship. Just registered and voted in the next election.

bullshit. the form asked you about your citizenship. that's the requirement. when you registered you checked the box you were a citizen

you guys are fucking morons if you think the ILLEGALS, who are trying to evade authority by any means possible, and super excited to put their names on, and sign, a document that they probably believe would immediately export them just to be one of a few hundred million people with the, ahemm, privilege, of voting

you guys are Ocasio of the extreme right...just believe any old narrative without giving a single brain cell of thought to the facts. a true embarrassment to the party of Goldwater

OK Maybe the form asked me about my citizenship. But I never had to prove anything.

So lets assume I'm illegal but check that I'm a citizen, who's going to prove otherwise?

So how is that effective against illegals voting?

didn't a sitting president tell illegals to vote in the last election- because nobody will come after them

I see tons of them and their children on a daily basis. Zero doubt in my mind they will destroy the Southwestern United States. You are talking about the complete societal breakdown of a civilization.
